"Done is beautiful"
Frank Chimero
I would have to say I am most inspired by the people, the
past and the everyday objects. I like unpredictable and
unconventional design and I am obsessed with chairs. That is
why my favourite designers are Fernando and Humberto
Campana who are amazing at creating original stuff.

Designing the set design for the reality show - ‘Trapped’ where two individuals must not be aware of studio cameras and feel isolated. Work of Yayoi Kusama was an inspiration because it concerns many themes, all share an obsession with repetition, pattern, and accumulation. Second inspiration was a beehive shape - an enclosed structure. The beehive's internal structure is a densely packed matrix of hexagonal cellsand structure.The primary motif is a repetitive pattern of polka-dots and elements such as beehive organic sculptural forms. The mirror floor reflects ubiquitous polka dots creating seemingly endless spaces. Lack of right angles enhances this effect making people inside feeling insecure, trapped anddizzy. Exterior construction of the tv set resembles an external structure of beehive.

Sheffield’s new revitalised Leopold Square is positioned in the city centre.The project of the restaurant in Leopold hotel is taking Sheffield’s steel heritage to a whole new dimension; capturing decorative and gentle qualities of steel, subvert traditional notions of metal.The design feature of the restaurant is a steel chain curtain. The plan is determined by its shape which reminds of oval form of steel rods. It creates one of its kind sculptural path through the restaurant space. Space is divided - exposed and enclosed by steel chain curtain giving the space beautiful visual quality. The steel chain curtain filters sunlight light and shades that creates an airy effect, belying the strength of this metal.
Beautful lighting creates a unique atmosphere and warms ‘’steel’’ interiors.Graceful cascade of nickel chain with a gloss nickel finish (Hudson Atlantis chandelier) and Bocci pendant lamps are focal points of the restaurant. Iconic Plantner chair and dining table with wire sculptural frame empasise and refer to ‘’steel’’ character of the place.
The city of Manchester has had underground tunnels and water ways dating back to the Victorianera. The Cathedral Steps are a series of 17 arches built in the embankment of the River Irwell in Manchester. The Arches are situated directly below Victoria Street to the West of Manchester Cathedral.Manchester is a lively, bustling, cosmopolitan spot on the UK map. Manchester’s Urban Art Hub ishosting the cultural events and promoting Manchester's (urban) music, culture and way of life;Showing a genuine passion that made Manchester consistently giving credibility and backing to subjects that most galleries and entertainment places would overlook. Design and style of the place is closely linked with the city's unique past to the contemporary city it is today.

Taking inspiration from Manchester’s brand signifier which is created from colourful strings. The strandsof colour represent the richness and diversity of the City; Strings symbolizes connection with others andgrow attached to the city. The general idea is created by neon light strands and showing differences. Emphasising duality by highlighting the contrasts: underground literally and figuratively, old and modern, main-stream and alternative, light and dark, heritage and future, dim and colourful...

The project aims to change the bad reputation of the area and make it a family friendly, modern, desirable place to live. Approach: mixing iconic pieces with brightcolours we kept the interiors simple. From BoConcept sofas to Droog lighting our show homes featured a mixture of high street and high end to showcase these regenerated homes.
‘The North Pole’ is a pop-up temporary winter bar in the heart of Manchester.Taking inspiration from the large pole in thecentre of the structure, the name ‘the North Pole’ was chosen. From this the theme of the bar and Nordic style dressings were derived. We created a full sized bar and seating areas as well as a suspended Christmas tree installation. Creating humorous signage within the bar and styling the bar staff in vintage ‘explore outfits’ was one of the many additional design details undertaken.
